Filippi Filing for the Exit
Kirk Morrison started things off on third street by completing. Alan Boston looked at Morrison on his right and Amnon Filippi on his left before folding. Filippi raised folding everyone else out of the hand. He and Morrison then got enough chips in the middle to put Filippi all in.
Filippi was drawing with buried nines and an ace against Morrison's buried kings and ten. By sixth street Morrison made kings and sixes, leaving Filippi with a squeeze only to a nine at the river.
"Four across," said Filippi. But it wasn't a nine. He drew a ten and was busted from the tournament.
"You guys had me squeezed good. I had 10-J-Q. If you had more chips I would have gambled," noted Boston after the hand.
Dan Heimiller offered some solace to Filippi. "You can call [Morrison] a cock with no penalty. Just say you were reading his hat." Morrison is indeed wearing a hat with a picture of a rooster on it.
